Table of Contents Factoring Method to Solve Quadratic Equations 1.Move all non-zero terms to one side of the equation and simplify. 2.Factor the quadratic expression. 3.Set each factor containing a variable equal to zero. The Principle of Zero Products is used for this step 4.Solve the resulting equations.
